The Sales Conversation Every Physician Needs to Master
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Credit card out, ready to sign, completely sold on a new doctor... and then I put the card away.
I spend my days coaching physicians on how to win patients, so when I went shopping for my own direct primary care doctor recently, the tables turned.
I narrowed it down to two physicians, both kind and qualified, but only one made me feel ready to move forward. The difference? One small but decisive moment in the sales conversation.
If you've ever wondered whether prospective patients are saying no because of your price, your branding, your website, or your booking page, this story will make you rethink what actually closes the decision.
